A story about a North Korean restaurant

February 21, 2013 eating out

Occasionally in your life, you meet people who immediately make your heart bleed with tenderness. I’ve met several people like that. Some of them, I got to know better. Others disappear after just a brief encounter. I wonder if you know what I’m talking about. They are people who for some reason, instantly fills you [...]

A 25-year-old Daughter

January 9, 2013 family

Northern Virginians driving through the streets of Vienna, Virginia, may have seen an Asian girl hopping and bopping on the sidewalks. That girl was me.

My mother’s kitchen aromas

August 2, 2012 dinner event

A while ago, my mother sent me the most ridiculous pair of slippers ever. Have you seen a pair of slippers more amusing than this pair? Look at the garish pink bobbles! And what is up with the baby pink dolphin with the smile? You tilt one way and that fishy smile looks sinister, while [...]

How a Real Woman Eats

November 22, 2011 eating out

I think I have a cure to L.A. traffic. Four foreign words: 포장마차 pronounced “pojang macha.” Pojang machas are these street stalls set up like big tents that weave the hustle-bustle streets in Korean cities. You can’t miss it, especially when the weather is cold and you get baited into the tent by the puff [...]

What’s that stink?

October 12, 2011 eating out

I once made the faux pas of telling someone that I think Mexican food is messy-looking on a plate. “It’s just goops and dumps and sludges,” I said oh-so-articulately. The person whom I said this to looked at me with an expression that snapped, “Yo mama! As if Korean food is any better-looking!” Oops. I [...]
